It was curious that Peter Lawwell was quizzed on potentially having a conflict of interest in deciding if a recent multiple-convict would be regarded by the SFA as Fit and Proper to direct a football club. The club in question are not even in our league; conflict exists only in the heads of those who persist in believing in a ‘Firm which expired on the liquidation of one party.
I’ve avoided the appropriateness of a recent convict directing a football club as the deciding matters appear overwhelmingly obvious. There are no written rules on being Fit and Proper, largely due to the Mahatma Gandhi question posed by Neil Doncaster last year. Gandhi was a convict, but one of impeccable character. The contemporaneous character references are all important. The SFA will also be chastened by recent experiences.
My guess is that in the unlikely event the Nomads acquiesce, Peter Lawwell’s views will be immaterial. “Nobody likes us, we don’t care” has nothing to do with it, just find someone Fit and Proper!
Delighted that Aberdeen’s quest for silverware survived Fir Park last night. This club have underachieved for around 20 years now but Derek McInnes stands a reasonable chance of delivering second place in the league, as well as the League Cup.
Not so delighted at Hibs capitulation. Despite playing like Brazil in the 1970 World Cup for the first 15 minutes of their home tie against Hearts last night they were soon out-muscled, with more than a few players looking miles out of their depth. There is no compensation for Scottish football in Hearts progressing to the semi-finals. They are mid-crisis and will remain so, irrespective of how they perform in cup competitions, but the absence of Hibernian from the genuine challengers is a regret.
Morton went down to a late St Johnstone goal. They have now lost five and drawn one of their six games since winning at Celtic Park, their only victory since August…..
With this in mind, I’ll refrain from referring to the potential advantage of having a Cup Final at ‘home’ until we have earned the right to be there.
Dreadful news of Fernando Ricksen. I hope he finds strength from those close to him in the years ahead.
The new CQN Annual is looking great, really delighted with it. Thank you to everyone who has participated in the project. You can pre-order below:

Lennon’s Passion, Bhoylo, S2s- ok I’m wrong. As S2S points out, people are born into it also, it’s not just a matter of geography. Though SPFL would be in a whole lot better shape if people supported their local team.
S2S – so why should these 6 people you refer to be supported by Celtic supporters? Can you explain?
I’m hearing it’s fancy dress at ibrokes the morra
night…….40 000 plus there ,allegedly…and no one
dressed as a ZOMBIE……..now that’s got to be a
world record.
Thanks to robertttessell

Hail Hail!
Shoulder2shoulder,
I know I shouldn’t but….
Reading between your, what I consider to be, your limited grasp of the English language, lack of concern for forum rules, lack of knowledge of a very important legal issue, propensity to profanity and your eagerness to engage in some form of hostility, I will say this,
I have many problems but none that I wish to share here on a Celtic forum.
I object to the fact that this forum,( that has been a godsend to many Celtic supporters, who have no wish to engage with the MSM, over the years), being hijacked by an ill thought through, ill informed diatribe from someone who shows all the attributes of a FF follower, in terms of intellect and unsubstantiated information, opening this site to the accusations of bigoted, over zealous, diatribe we regularly attribute to FF and other more risible forums.
I am not calling you a Hun, or saying you are a troll.
What I am saying, unequivocally, is you making statements of support about a very serious legal matter, based on little or no knowledge of the facts, then insinuating them to Celtic family , as represented by CQN, does nothing for the six accused, and opens our forum to accusations of support for all sorts of nefarious activity.
Looking forward to the Dundee United match

what a lot of drivel that post was. Who are these men behind the wire you speak of?
When did you become forum admin and decide what is allowed and what isn’t? In what post did Shoulder to shoulder mention IRA or splinter groups?

Is it only published authors and those with University degrees now allowed to post? I must have missed that somewhere.

Given the very real situation of young Celtic fans being arrested for singing ROH, I think politics does have a roll on this blog. To have debate and discussion on whether it is a crime to be a supporter of so called dissident republicans is just another part of the wider debate on the attack of Irish culture in Scotland.
I am very suspicious of those that think only certain folk, who from their writing it would appear are highly educated, should express the values and ethos of this or any other Celtic forum.
” opens our forum to accusations of support for all sorts of nefarious activity.” On the basis of that statement if we were to discuss the Harold Shipman case then someone may interpret it as CQN’s support for serial killers.
